Abstract
A sorting system () for sorting sorting objects (), including a sensor unit () which is adapted to detect a property, in particular a size, shape, weight, color and/or material, of a sorting object (), and a valve arrangement () which is adapted to blow on the sorting object () in order to convey the sorting object () to one of a plurality of possible sorting destinations (), wherein the sorting system () is adapted to selectively set, according to the detected property, a blowing strength () to a first blowing strength (A) greater than zero or to a second blowing strength greater than zero, the second blowing strength being different from the first blowing strength (B), and to blow the sorting object using the valve arrangement with the set blowing strength to cause the sorting object to be conveyed to the sorting destination.
